Subjects:
  • Presentation of knowledge and experience through collaborative group presentations
Prerequisites Knowledge:
  • Attendance to all previous sessions.
  • A basic understanding of Web 2.0 programs.
  • Knowledge of basic computer functionality.
  • Post-workshop surveys from day and two sessions should have been completed.
  • Working knowledge of the Multimedia Principle, Contiguity and Modality Principles.
Workshop Content:
During this session, teacher groups will present their collaborative lessons began or created during day 4 of the workshop. Teachers will be expected to present a 30 minute lesson that includes presentations using the 3 Multimedia, Contiguity and Modality Principles, as well as using at least one of the Web 2.0 presentation software examples provided during the workshop. The workshop will conclude with a post-workshop survey and sign-ups for post-workshop observations and data gathering on workshop effectiveness.
Lesson Objectives:
  • Given 30 minutes of floor time, teacher groups will use one at least of the Web 2.0 presentation tools to deliver a multimedia-infused lesson on a content-specific topic that covers identifiable examples of all 3 multimedia principles covered during the workshop.
  • Using an online survey provided by the workshop instructor, teacher participants will review the effectiveness of the 5 day workshop to show successful completing of the overall workshop goals.
Workshop Delivery:
  • Workshop participants will take turns presenting their group lessons. During each presentation, all teachers will take part in the activities. Teachers will be limited to 30 minutes for their lessons.
  • After all teacher groups have presented their lessons, workshop participants will constructively review the effective and ineffective methods employed in each of the group lessons presented.
  • Teacher participants will vote for a “best in show” lesson that they believe exhibited the principles learned during the workshop to the greatest effect.

Workshop Evaluation Strategies
  • All teachers will be required to submit a post-workshop survey to identify learning, effective progress and necessary changes or additions to the workshops
  • Teachers will be required to submit their group lessons as a tangible proof of concept at the end of the workshop.
  • The workshop presenter and Master Teachers should keep an accurate record of the type of questions asked, and the responses/assistance given during the session.
  • Workshop effectiveness will be evaluated through follow-up observations from workshop instructor and Master Teachers. Data will be collected on the effective use of the presentation tools and multimedia learning principles.
